Maarten,

the program code I is:
http://www2.jura.uni-hamburg.de/instkrim/kriminologie/Mitarbeiter/Enzmann/Software/reprate.do

I determine the time by comparing c(current_time) before reading and 
after reading the code. The program version and system information I 
indicated in my last mail. As I said, Stata/SE 9.2 reads the code in 
about 1 second whereas Stata/SE 10.0 needs 35-40 seconds. I don't 
pretend that the code is optimal but I don't understand why this could 
be the reason Stata needs so much time *reading* it (I'm not talking 
about executing, this is similar in Stata 9.2 and Stata 10.0).
